THE CATTLE BUSINESS.

Money can be made ty the bushel
in the cattle business" says the Miles
City Stock Journal. 'if i, is only known
how to SO about it. Buy up ali the two
year old steers youca get, put them on
to a good range and hold them for
about eighteen months and we will
wager that you will be able to our
your gre-nt,acks in large denominations
aud say that, for once, you cut the
proper caper."
All very good advice, but Xix" the recipe
for making rabbit pot pie. first catch
your rabbit" In the first place it would
be necessary to find the two.year old
steers: then it would require q large
capital TO purchaser herd large enough
to make the business profitable; il
would be necessary to find the good
range" unoccupied, which at the pres.
ent day would perhaps be more difficult
than to find the steers. and finally it
would require n lnan Of means to be
able to ''hold them for about eighteen
months"
Yes, the advice is timely and good,
but the conditions are such that there
Is little likelihood that it will be needed
to any great extent, Notwithstanding
there are millions of capital awaiting
just such profitable investment.

GOVERNOR wATERmAN

The Silver State makes some pointed
remarks in reference to the new Gov
ernor Of California. and we can scarcely
believe that it is justiiable in asserting
that ''Mr. Waterman, who WAS elected
Lieutenaut-G Governor. is now the Gov
II Of the Golden State. but Mr..
Boruck is the Governor in fact 1t
would. perhaps, be as well to wait n
time with patience until we see what is
the result Of the appointment Of Mr..

Alma Tadema.s Dwelling.

Mr.. Alma Tadema, most versatile of
artists, has added one more world to
those he has already conquered. He has
become his own architect, and N. Tissot' 8
house in st. Johns wood, which was
considered gem in its way when the
French Artist lived in it, has been trans
formed inside and out into something
quite marvellous to behold. In the ex-
terror are bits of nearly all the styles of
all the ages, from the classic romantic
down to the latest Nineteenth century
development of art, or eccentric fashion
and fancy.
Inside, the medley is still more be-
wildering, but always harmonious. Mr..
Tadema was resolved that every nook
and corner of his new home should have
its picture, and each picture unlike its
fellow. One vista suggests Greece, an
other Rome, third the gorgeous and
mysterious east. The room designed for
the special use of the artists wife viii be
one of the prettiest interiors in London.
His own studio viii also be unique in
arrangement and decoration, and his
friends are already looking forward to
the enjoyment Of his hospitality amid
surroundings that will enhance, If pos
sible, its well known grace and charm

woman,s work in Early rimes.

Prior to the American revolution every
colonial farm house and every black
smiths shop was a mandatory. For
everything was literally manufactured;
that is, made by hand. The blacksmith
hammered out axes, hoes, spades, plow-
shears, scythes and nails. A tailoress
went from house to house to make up
the winter clothing, and was followed by
the shoemaker. The farmer prepared
the leather from skins which had laid in
the vat for a year, and his wife made
ready the cloth. Spinning wheels buzzed
from morning till night. Skeins of wooden
and linen yarn hung on the walls of
every house. Seated on the loom seat,
the best woman of the family piled shut
ties and treadles, weaving blankets,
sheets, table cloths, towels, bed curtains,
window curtains, fannels and cloth for
garments. Every woman in the house
hold manufactured something. The aged
grandmother spun fax with the little
wheel; the youngest daughter carded
wool, and the oldest, if the men were
busy, hatcheled flax. 1t was hand work
that did it, and every hand did what it
could best do. The women, whose
''work was never done, not only carded,
spun and wove, but they MIXED the COWS,
made butter, bread and cheese, soap and
candles, cooked the food, did the wash
ing, and in harvest raked hay, pulled
flax and dug potatoes. The neighbor
who happened in for an afternoons gos-
sip brought her work. The mother
patched or knitted as she rested by the
fireside, or quartered apples for the
children to string and hang in the
morning in festoons on the sunny out
side walls. All were busy, always busy.

Another Word Needed.

The government ought to offer a re-
ward for anybody who viii invent a word
that will pleasantly, picturesquely, agree
ably define happy evening among
friends. Social is one of the most
horrible words IN the language, used as a
noun. Party means anything or
nothing. 1t is absolutely INEXPENSIVE.
"a good time" comes in for big drunk,
or picnic, or funeral, even, for there
are people who enjoy, really enjoy, fune-
rails. "a dinner party" seems to stop
with the eating. Now if Glere is time
when people are unsociable, it is at a
big dinner party. If you are fond of
eating, conversations a nuisance. and
you can't get up any reasonable discus
sion that will not be broken by the
courses.
You've either to devote yourself to the
menu or to your neighbor. If she's
pretty, you don't eat your dinner; if the
dinners good it requires perfect self
abnegation to pay any attention to her.
A dinner party is neither one thing nor
the other. But after dinner! Well, that 3
different. 'Soiree" is an abominable
word. The man that coined it should
have been killed. Now, what can you
call happy, merry evening? You can't
call it anything short and nice and pleas
ant. People talk about spending the
evening" just as if they had to put in
the time somehow, and that was all they
wanted to do. Calling" suggests a
straightbacked chair, your hat in your
hand and the hostess in discomfort, wish
ing you'd go. And there's only one
word in the English language that means
comfort, and peace, and happiness, and
enjoyment, and that word is Home. y
San Francisco Chronicle "Undertones. !"
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1887-02-05

Captain Edward Unger, the man
arrested in New York for the murder
Of August Bohle, whose body was
found chopped up and packed IN a
trunk and shipped to Baltimore,
has made a full confession Of his
crime.
In speaking OF the case Judge
Duffy told Of an exactly parallel case
which happened many years ago.
" 1t was long before my time,n said
be. A brother of Colt, the famous
revolver man, owed another man
named Chambers some money.
Chambers dunned him, and one day
coming into Colts Office, corner Of
Broadway and Chambers street, the
two men quarreled. In the quarrel
Colt killed Chambers. He cut of
the head, just as Unger did, and
packed the body into a big trunk,
which he shipped to fictitious ad
dress to New Orleans. In those days
it took the boats some SIX or seven
weeks to sail to New Orleans. Dur
ing the trip, some sailor Dad occa-
sion to go down into the hold among
the freight, and he was almost over
powered by the odor of decaying
flesh. He reported it, and the trunk
was discovered.
There must have been an Inspec-
tor Byrnes even in those days, for
Colt was committed for the crime,
and sentenced to be hanged in the
Tombs. Well, on the day set for
the hanging, the big wooden cupola
on the building caught fire, or was
set on fire. Indescribable confusion
resulted. When quiet was restored,
it was found that Colt had cnt his
throat in his cell. That was the re.
port, but it is generally believed
that be had been permitted to escape,
and some dead body from the
morgue put in his place. The cupola
was set on fire to enable him to es-
cape. He was never caught, and is
said to have been seen in India not
very long ago. It's a parallel case
to Unger's exactly. don't think,
by the way, that Unger will he hung.
He claims selfdefence, and there is
no one to testify otherwise. He
will probably get life sentence.

Anress of Ancient DAYS.

From the most authentic authorities
we learn that there was but little, if any,
effort made to fit the garments to the
body $50 years before Christ, and the
chief and indispensable article OF wear
was called the ''chiton,' linen bag-like
affair, made in one piece and open at the
top and bottom. 1t reached from the
neck to the feet, and was SO wide that
the arms might be extended without dis
comfort. This particular style must have
been all the rage, as we say nowadays,
for the richer class likewise wore the
Chiffon, but it was composed Of silk In
stead of linen, and another similar COS
tune called the sHimation, /" which was
composed of some sort of wooden stuff.
